Our last set of brand new fleet was 2014/15 even then is was partial attempt.
Prior to that Redcar new fleet was 2009 when the pulsar and temsa first arrived.
An againg fleet of 15 years plus is ridiculous for breakdowns and damages now.
And 10 years for the streetlites and b9s.
How is this acceptable.
We have a hodge podge of fleet which yes may get you from a to b but takes the longest way possible and often breaks down and inconsistent. No wonder the pulsars all need repair
Not disputing your comments, but there's been a fair amount of investment in Darlington with the 17 Plate Streetlite's. I'm not going to count the stolen Enviro 200 MMC's though because they're a burden on Ashington aswell but I'll leave them sheds out today.
There's a bid in under ZEBRA3 which I'd be very surprised if Teesside lost again for the 2 and 63 though which in theory should get shot of most the Temsa's.
